Tesla Insurance Rates Set To Spike As Cars Become Vandalism Targets

I used to work in insurance. This might actually be the biggest blow to Testla, even more than stock prices. If people keep vandalizing the vehicles, eventually the insurance has to come due. And repair costs are not cheap, its basically only dealers and a limited number of repair places that partner.

And insurance companies always make sure they get their money.

So it's actually working!
That makes it more expensive to own a Tesla, and that's one more thing that will make it less attractive to buy, either new or used.
It's debatable whether this is fair, but clearly it achieves a political goal.

Hahahahahahahaha

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is fucking hilarious.

It turns out, property damage can solve a problem

Reminds me of the Kia and Hyundai challenge.

Now this kind of thing could actually be the downfall of Tesla. Good job people!

Ironically, even without the vandalism these cars were ridiculously expensive to insure. When I bought my EV I checked insurance premiums, and it would’ve cost $100/mo more to insure a model 3 similarly priced EV from another maker.

this is what the fanbois never bragged about when the brand used to carry some level of prestige

Makes sense. They should make cars that don't spontaneously combust.

can people even insure wank trucks?

Some higher being observing Earth from a far distance must be intrigued by the pattern recognition of us destroying one specific car while completely ignoring the thousands of others.

Like, imagine when we look at single-cell organisms and see them swarm something. We’d never apply any kind of nuanced interpersonal/sociopolitical reasons to be the cause.

Tesla had to create the own insurance because many companies and states won't insure the cyber truck.

Bwahhahahahaaahaha!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
